After details were divulged this morning on Mini‘s new Paceman, the company dropped some photos of the car onto its Facebook page, looking production ready, with just a tiny bit of camo on the back end.

The Paceman is essentially a Countryman with three doors, with a few small tweaks to make it a little sportier. The car sits 0.4 inches lower than the Countryman while losing 1.6 inches in overall height and loses 44 lbs.

For engines, the two gasoline options have been announced as the regular Cooper engine which will make 120 hp while the Cooper S engine will pack 181 hp. A John Cooper Works variant is likely to follow.

The Paceman will likely debut in full production form at the Paris Auto Show.
